Description

The Project: Math challenges abound in all of your favorite board games: What are the chances of landing on Boardwalk and Park Place? How many rolls will it take to get to the billiard room to ask about Colonel Mustard with the wrench? In The Game’s Afoot, your team combines game design elements with one of the following mathematical concepts to create a new, non-electronic math-based game: 1) building and interpreting functions; 2) transformations (rotations, reflections, & translations); 3) vectors; 4) modeling (geometric, graphical, tabular, algebraic, or statistical); 5) probability. Of course, you can put in any math concepts you would like – these are just some recommendations: the project works around any mathematical or STEAM topics. The resulting deliverable will be a documentary of the development, design and testing process. If a team makes it all the way to final game playing, then conclude with your peers playing the actual game.
